[PATCH 6/8] modpost: Add modinfo flag to livepatch modules

From: Joao Moreira
Date: Tue Aug 29 2017 - 15:02:47 EST


From: Miroslav Benes <mbenes@xxxxxxx>

Currently, livepatch infrastructure in the kernel relies on
MODULE_INFO(livepatch, "Y") statement in a livepatch module. Then the
kernel module loader knows a module is indeed livepatch module and can
behave accordingly.

klp-convert, on the other hand relies on LIVEPATCH_* statement in the
module's Makefile for exactly the same reason.

Remove dependency on modinfo and generate MODULE_INFO flag
automatically in modpost when LIVEPATCH_* is defined in the module's
Makefile. Generate a list of all built livepatch modules based on
the .livepatch file and store it in (MODVERDIR)/livepatchmods. Give
this list as an argument for modpost which will use it to identify
livepatch modules.

As MODULE_INFO is no longer needed in the sample, remove it.

[jmoreira:
* fix modpost.c (add_livepatch_flag) to update module structure with
livepatch flag and prevent modpost from breaking due to unresolved
symbols
* remove MODULE_INFO statement
]
